RPS Data Products Status

• The RPS team has been working towards delivery on the higher-order data products that have been part of the RPS plan since PDR

• Our progress is consistent with impacts from higher priority analyses for programs and relatively limited staff and budget

• Recent milestones:– Development of 1-minute average spectra (new level 2 product)– Working on consistency check between two methods of computing flux

• We will provide quick-look products on request while we focus on our production codes

RPS Data ProductsData Level

Name Contents Latency Reprocessing Status

0 (L0) Level 0 Data

RPS PTP/CCSDS packets (decoded in CDF version, includes space weather data)

1-3 days By MOC Done

1 (L1) Level 1 Data

Nearly all L0 data, UTC, energy/photon deposits, singles and coincidence rates, s/c location, RPS boresight vector, magnetic field vector, dead times (including quota effects), minimal OPQ coordinates

Daily up to L0+5 days, and on-demand

Quick look code mature, developing production code

2 (L2) Energy Spectra

UTC, flux versus energy spectrum (once per 5 degrees rotation), pitch-angle and full magnetic coordinates (e.g., Lm, MLT, I,

Blocal, Bequ, F) of RPS boresight in OPQ

and TS models. Separate 1-minute spin averaged flux spectra.
